Equipment

Heating

The house has an oil fired boiler which is in the small room by the back door.

There are two portable sensor controls for the heating – one which operates the upstairs and must be placed upstairs so that the temperature reaches the set temperature, and one for downstairs which must be placed in the hall or dining room. Please set the temperate for each area using the appropriate control, and we advise leaving the sensor controls in their existing location. The radiators in each room also have individual controls.

There are also portable heaters in the wardrobes for those who need extra heating in their room. Please be careful when using these and read and follow the bedroom heater instructions. Do not cover them.
